Hello.

I have a *.ini file that contains some data in a format like this ;

"username" "password" "somethinghere" "anotherdata"

I want to read each value between "---" characters with PHP. So I created a pattern like this ;

preg_match_all("/\"(.*)\"\s+\"(.*)\"\s+\"(.*)\"\s+\"(.*)\"/", $line, $result);

It simply works but If there is a value contains some special chars like < and > , it does not match them. Example data ;

"<one> Customer" "34324324" "aaaaaaaaaa" "b"

When I had printed what I had in $result, I saw only Customer for the first data. <one> part was gone.

Can someone offer me better pattern?

Thanks for helps and answers.
